Preface: I supposed to be in IAD for dinner meeting. The weather mess kept me here. Thought I would get some stay credit in.

Status: Diamond.

Rate: $111 plus change. AAA.

Transportation: I am usually pretty conservative about this stuff. But given the weather decided to cab it. $55 including tip from SFO. I left my car in the SFO garage since I hate giving our vehicles to SF hotels to park.

Parking: not used

Check-in: I was lucky to get into the Hotel early and on Club. That has been the only positive thing here.

I made it clear that my intent was to chill, get some work done and watch a movie or two. It was so windy today the racket the Hotel makes is crazy. Wired internet is a joke and I've had to rearrange the furniture a little since there is not a proper desk or outlets. The on demand video was not working earlier. When they finally got it working you could not buy a movie. I tried to get a late lunch and the Hotel has no restaurants open between 3 and 5 PM. I ended up walking to Starbucks. The walls are thin and you can hear everything.

Perks: Took points.

Lounge: A small affair with a so so spread as has been reported. Packed.

Room: standard

Bathroom: standard

Internet: Wired for $10 per day. Wireless is faster via T Mobile. If you use wired you can not use line 1 on the phone.

Gym: I wish I had some clothes for this.

Spa: I wish I was there.

Eating venues: I tried.

Local makets: Close to everything.

Local area: Center of the City.

Nagatives: As reported herein. I was going to stay another night since I have a flight out to ORD Sunday. I am going to try and fly out of here tomorrow. No matter what I will be making a hotel change.

Closing: Remains a dated hotel with so so service. Little bothered they are just not straight with you as a customer about problems. You have to draw it out of them.
